Official "Tarmac Black" Picture Thread
If you have a black car... you cant just let the dealership wash it .... just because its free. You really have to take the time and look after your paint from day one. I only dislike my car when I am sitting in front of it with a touch up pin... trying to bo-tox the rock chips away.... LOL
I will be going at mine with some Presta 1500 polish and and a green wool wheel, followed by a rundown with the blue foam wheel and swirl remover by Presta. Its what I used in the shop I painted it last year. Good Stuff!!

A few pics after I fully detailed it 3 weekends ago. 16 hours of polishing / buffing & waxing with a porter cable.

I've found that when waxing my car I can use pretty much any kind of wax. The trick is to wash your car again after waxing it (I use armor all car shampoo). Then after drying it with a microfiber there isn't a swirl anywhere on the car. I've had a black vehicle for the last 9 years and this method works great on all.

uchless drying FTW, NO SWIRLS.
